Quality is inherent to our processes throughout the life cycle of each part produced. We communicate with our customers from the earliest stages of development to ensure that we share the same goals and to take advantage of our experience and expertise.

Our employees are one of the key elements for our organization success. Their involvement, union spirit, compromising and enthusiasm are the foundation of our work.

Risks prevention at the workplace is, therefore, of upmost importance for an effective work condition; this improvement is important not only for human reasons, to increase workers welfare, but also because it ensures the organizations sustainability and economic prosperity.

By promoting a healthy and safe environment we create all the conditions to raise motivation levels: satisfied employees are more efficient and productive; employee’s motivation and appreciation determine the organization’s success.

We believe it is possible to prevent incidents through danger detection and risk evaluation as a basis for the definition and rollout of action programs to improve safety, and health conditions of employees. We promote a continuous reevaluation regarding procedures and practices at workplaces. We prepare, we test and we revue action emergency plans, which allows us to reduce the environmental impact and improve people’s safety and health.
